The new spray-on-skin however, grows the skin solution by taking a sample of the patient’s keratinocytes and melanocytes. These cells reproduce quickly when mixed in a special suspension solution, to about 80 times the original size within 30 minutes.

Once the solution has been cultivated, a special nozzle is then used to spray it over the wound. The result is faster healing and better cosmetic results.

The procedure can be performed anywhere, and takes little more than the 30 minutes required to grow the skin solution. And since the solution is grown form the patient’s own skin cells, there’s no risk of the boy rejecting them.

The procedure is already available in Europe, Australia and Canada, however the ReCell system is still seeking FDA approval for sale in the U.S.
